It's a topic we've grappled with for ages now: where can we let people know what's new around the Somnolescent site network? It's unreasonable to expect folks to check a bunch of sites individually, and we'd like to let you all know we're not dead (quite the opposite!). We thought about using Letters for it, but ultimately, spamming that up with random new pages felt wrong.
Here's our solution. This page features a listing of the twenty most recent Somnolescent site updates—redesigns, new pages, updated pages, and so forth. If you're an RSS sort (RSS being a very 2000s way to keep track of new posts on sites all over the Web), you can subscribe to a feed of Somnolescent site updates here and find a list of other RSS feeds on our site network under the updates table.

| Oh yeah, more from your favorite virtual anime rock band—Connor has gotten an early 2000s version of MoriHime's site online under its own subdomain. This one is built with not just HTML4, not just popup windows and all the trimmings, but Flash. That's right, that old PC you've got with IE7 and Flash still installed on it? (Who doesn't have one of those?) It's been waiting for its time to shine again, and that time is now. (There are also 4:3 wallpapers and a 128kbps MP3 of MoriHime's cover of "I Want It That Way" for download, and you do want it that way, yes.) | |

| Cabyween 2024 is here! Every day, a new bouncy trick-or-treater showing up at your door... How you handle it is up to you. Don't be mean. They're only littol. | |
| October 20, 2024 | caby.somnolescent.net |
| Caby's got a lot of sonas, and now there's a whole section on her site about them! Dates made, toyhou.se links, bios, backgrounds, cute lil chibis, all that stuff she's so good at... (The Please Draw a Cat gallery has also been updated with all the recent and not-as-recent submissions!) | |
| October 14, 2024 | morihime.com |
| It's on our hosting and it involves a Somnolian, so it counts: Connor's virtual J-rock group MoriHime has their own website now! Get all their music in one place, gawk at the killer art of the four anime dorks in question, and maybe check out a little modding project from Cammy around there somewhere? | |
| October 10, 2024 | tesserae.somnolescent.net |
| The end of an era that only we remember: Tesserae, Cammy's attempt at an HTML and Web design help site, has been officially retired. Too many projects and not enough desire, sadly. We will have to find a use for Caby's cute cyber snow leopard mascot idea elsewhere... | |
| September 30, 2024 | somnolescent.net |
| The Somnolian bios have been updated! Turns out, they were a little old, and not the kind of old that we like—some folks had changed handles old. Touched up now! (More minor thing—all pages have links to the new IRC and update tracker pages in their footer. Cammy was too tired or lazy to update everything earlier.) | |
| September 24, 2024 | somnolescent.net |
| Interactivity? On my somnolescent.net? It's true—we now have a page on our Somnolescent IRC room on Rizon if you wanna chat with us, and an update tracker on the main site so you never have to miss out on a single Somnolescent site update ever again. Have an RSS reader handy? You can even track our site updates over RSS. | |
| August 29, 2024 | mariteaux.somnolescent.net |
| A new page on Cammy's deathmatch levels for Quake has been added! Currently one level, "The Desolate Depot", is up for download, plus information about its inspiration and build. | |
| August 29, 2024 | mariteaux.somnolescent.net |
| The art sampler on mariteaux.somnolescent.net has been updated with stuff Cammy drew during Art Fight 2024! | |
| August 19, 2024 | blog.somnolescent.net |
| Letters From Somnolescent now features a new old theme! We've wanted a new look for some time, but in the absence of any real desire to build a bespoke theme, we went with Twenty Ten, because it's a classic. This also meant the return of the rotating seasonal Somnolescent banners! More will be added in time, and old ones will be rebranded and recropped as their project files are discovered. | |
| May 28, 2024 | nofi.mariteaux.somnolescent.net |
| nofi.mariteaux.somnolescent.net, the first of the three versions of Cammy's sites to enable total and complete retro browser compatibility, is feature-complete! This version of the site is aimed at very old 90s browsers like Netscape and is super lightweight to browse. | |
| March 3, 2024 | caby.somnolescent.net |
| A new page from Caby on how she implements hover action in imagemaps! Lovely little way to make image navigation feel a lot more alive and colorful... | |
| March 3, 2024 | caby.somnolescent.net |
| Caby launches a new site section, Please Draw a Cat! Without looking at any references or anyone else's drawings, draw a cat and email it to her. It's a Social Experiment. | |
| February 28, 2024 | caby.somnolescent.net |
| caby.somnolescent.net is finally live and up for browsing once again! Explore a virtual Caby bedroom, peek at her plushie collection, learn about her piggo mascots, and enjoy the return of The Spooky Zone and her Neopets fansite! | |
| November 28, 2023 | fwd.somnolescent.net |
| Savannah has completed her redesign of fwd.somnolescent.net! Click around a virtual Presbury, which is absolutely as dumpy as the site makes it look. (The site itself, however, is lovely.) | |
